Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further
Familiarize Yourself with the Camera
With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have
captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how
they come out. You can then better understand the camera.
To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety
Warnings” (p.88, 89) and “Handling Precautions” (p.8, 9).
Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability
After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been
properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the
images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon
cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.
Copyrights
Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded
images of people and certain subjects for anything but private
enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions,
etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.
CF Card
In this manual, “card” refers to a CF card. The CF card (for recording
images) is not included. Please purchase it separately.

Handling Precautions
COPY
Camera Care
This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical
shock.
The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you
accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult your nearest
Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the
camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.
Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such
as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near
anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong
magnetic fields can cause camera misoperation or destroy image data.
Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.
High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.
The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to
disassemble the camera yourself.
Do not block the mirror operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
Use a blower to blow away dust on the lens, viewfinder, reflex mirror, and
focusing screen. Do not use cleaners that contain organic solvents to clean
the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest
Canon Service Center.
Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to
prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera
misoperation.
If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,
condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent
condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to
the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.
If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid
damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and
battery from the camera, and wait until the condensation has evaporated
before using the camera.
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery
and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the
camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to
check that the camera is still working.
Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a
darkroom or chemical lab.
If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions
before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is
an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon
dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

Handling Precautions
COPY
LCD Panel and LCD Monitor
Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision
technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels
among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black
or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.
If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period, screen burn-in may occur
where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only
temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.
The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black
in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.
Cards
To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:
Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,
physical shock, or vibration.
Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field
such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having
static electricity.
Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source.
Store the card in a case.
Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.
Lens
After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the
lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to
avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.
Cautions During Prolonged Use
If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a
prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a
malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin
burns.

COPY
EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses
With EF Cinema single focal length lenses, you can shoot at all movierecording quality settings. If you use an EF Cinema zoom lens, you can
shoot movies only with I Super 35mm Crop. (Since the image circle
is small, the image periphery will be dark if you shoot a movie in H A
B C quality or still photo.)
Cards that Can Record Movies
Use a large-capacity card with a fast writing/reading speed (required
card performance) as shown in the table. First, shoot a few test movies
to see if movies can be recorded accurately with a movie-recording size
you set (p.34).

slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.
If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an
even faster card.
To check the card’s writing/reading speed, refer to the card
manufacturer’s Web site.
To optimize the card’s performance, format the card before shooting
movies. For card-formatting cautions, see zpage 55.

Since shooting a movie at ISO 32000/40000/51200 may result in
substantial noise, these speeds are designated as expanded ISO
speeds (displayed as [H]).

still photo shooting to movie shooting, the manual ISO speed setting
range’s minimum for movie shooting will be ISO 100. It cannot be
expanded to ISO 50.
Changing the shutter speed or aperture, or zooming the lens during
movie shooting, is not recommended since the changes in the exposure,
or noise at high ISO speeds, may be recorded.
When shooting a movie of a moving subject, a shutter speed of 1/30 sec.

light, horizontal noise stripes may be recorded. With certain lenses
having an electronic focusing ring, horizontal noise stripes may be
recorded even when you focus manually (MF).
Zooming the lens during movie shooting is not recommended. Zooming
the lens can cause changes in the exposure regardless of whether the
lens’ maximum aperture changes or not. Exposure changes may be
recorded as a result.
During movie shooting, do not point the lens toward the sun. The sun’s
heat can damage the camera’s internal components.
Under [51: Record func+card/folder sel.], even if [Record func.] is set
to [Rec. to multiple] (zp.118), the movie cannot be recorded to both
Card 1 <f> and Card 2 <g>. If [Rec. separately] or [Rec. to
multiple] is set, the movie will be recorded to the card which is set for
[Playback].
If <Q> is set and the ISO speed or aperture changes during movie
shooting, the white balance may also change.
If you shoot a movie under fluorescent or LED lighting, the movie may
flicker.
When you shoot at high ISO speeds, color tone may be changed
depending on the movie-recording size settings.
When you press the <u> button, the “x5” or “x10” figure displayed on
the screen’s bottom right indicates the magnification based on 35mm
full-frame sensor size.
Cautions for movie shooting are on pages 55 and 56.

and 222 in the EOS-1D X Instruction Manual.

Notes on Movie Shooting
Movie-related settings are under the [z4] and [z5] tabs (p.51).
A movie file is recorded each time you shoot a movie. If the file size
exceeds 4 GB for a single movie shoot (single clip), a new file will be
created.
The movie image’s field of view is approx. 100% (with movie recording
size set to [A]).
You can also focus the image by pressing the <p> button.
To focus during movie shooting, press the <p> button. You cannot
focus by pressing the shutter button.
Sizes of AF points and a magnification frame displayed in information
display (p.26) depend on the movie-recording size setting (p.34).
Monaural sound is recorded by the camera’s built-in microphone (p.18).
By connecting a stereo microphone (commercially available) equipped
with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s external microphone IN terminal
(p.13), stereo sound recording is possible.
By connecting stereo headphones (commercially available) equipped
with a 3.5 mm mini plug to the camera’s headphone terminal (p.13), you
can listen to the sound during movie shooting.
The focus preset function is possible for movie shooting when using a
(super) telephoto lens equipped with the focus preset mode marketed
since the second half of 2011.
With a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E4N, the total movie shooting time
(with H shooting) will be as follows: approx. 1 hr. 25 min. at room
temperature (23°C/73°F), and approx. 1 hr. 15 min. at low temperature
(0°C/32°F).

Cautions for Using EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses
EF Cinema lenses with PL mount are not supported.
EF Cinema lenses require the aperture to be adjusted manually.
Therefore, they are not suitable for autoexposure shooting (p.18) and
shutter-priority AE shooting (p.19) for which the aperture is set
automatically to suit the brightness.
If the EF Cinema lens is not fitted with a function for sending information
to the camera, the aperture will be indicated as “00.” Also, the lens name
and other information will not be recorded in the Exif information.
If the EF Cinema lens can send information to the camera, the aperture
will be displayed as the f/number (not as the TNo.).
The color tone of movies shot with EF lenses and EF Cinema lenses is
different. Compared to EF lenses, EF Cinema lenses tend to make
movies look slightly more yellow.
When you shoot a still photo using an EF Cinema lens, lens aberration
correction (peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration
correction) is not applied.
Additional cautions regarding the use of EF Cinema lenses may be
announced on the Canon Web site, etc.

Final Image Simulation
The final image simulation is a function that allows you to see the
effects of the Picture Style, white balance, etc., on the image.
During movie shooting, the image displayed will automatically reflect
the effects of the settings listed below.
Final image simulation for movies
Picture Style
* All settings such as sharpness, contrast, color saturation, and color tone will
be reflected.
Canon Log gamma (without View Assist)
* Sharpness, saturation, and hue will be reflected.
White balance
White balance correction
Exposure
Depth of field
Auto Lighting Optimizer
Peripheral illumination correction
Chromatic aberration correction
Highlight tone priority
Even when Canon Log gamma (p. 43) is set, function settings other than the
Picture Style will be reflected in the final image simulation.
